Heroes can come in peculiar shapes (and this one chose to be a large animatronic with sharp teeth.)

by Stutter7707

Summary:

Skylar is in an abusive marriage and has a son with a daughter on the way when she meets the lovely KC, and things change.

Chapter 1

Skylar sighs as she leads Cody into the soup kitchen, she hates having to do this. To rely on such charity, but the fact is they don’t have the money for food right now. And her son comes before her pride, though her husband isn’t happy about it.

 

She startles when she sees the large animatronic, gripping Cody’s hand. She had never seen one up close before, and this one is pretty terrifying with his Moon face, eyes, dark half and crazy smile

 

KC smiles when he sees the two, they don’t get many chikdren in here. “ Why hello. ” He smiles softly. “ I am KC, I haven’t seen you here. ”

 

“Im Skylar.” Skylar sighs. “This is Cody, we… obviously need some food.” She says softly.

 

“ Of course. ” KC smiles and grabs them each a bowl of stew. “ If you two need any more, let me know. ”

 

Skylar nods and heads over to the table and gets them situated. This is an odd day, isn’t it.

 

She doesn’t talk much while here, watching Cody play as the time passes. Skylar plays with her wedding ring, watching as people come and go, Men. Woman and even rarely children. Really, anyone who needs food comes.

 

Someone tries to talk to her and Skylar excuses herself, heading out with Cody. She’s not in the mood to talk to anyone.

Skylar hums as she comes in again, going and grabbing some food and sitting at a table while Cody goes and plays in a little playhouse KC had brought in. He had brought it in after their second visit, this is their fourth and Cody loves it. 

 

Skylar sighs as she stops her coffee, frowning. She hates this, not being able to provide for her baby. It’s not fair, having to rely on this place for food.

 

“ Hello again, May I talk? ” 

 

Skylar startles, looking up to see KC.  “Hi, of course. Is something… wrong?” She asks softly, wondering if Cody had broken something or if she had maybe broken a rule unknowingly. Last thing she needs is to be kicked out.

 

“ Oh no no no. ” KC sits down and smiles. “ I have just noticed you keep to yourself, and figured you needed a friend. ” He says softly.

 

“Oh… thank you.” Skylar blushes. “I just… don’t like being here. Not against you, I just… feel bad.” She says softly. “I can’t care for my son.” She admits, her voice waivering.

 

KC frowns, and gently touches her hand. “ It is not your fault, you shouldn’t feel bad. We all need help sometime, trust me, I know. ” He assures.

 

Skylar nods. “I guess.” She says softly. “I just… still feel it.” She explains, or tries to.

 

“ That is perfectly okay, and natural. ” KC hums. “ I am also a parent so I understand. ” He smiles. “ Is your little one also very keen on getting into snacks? ” He asks playfully, trying to get a smile.

 

Skylar chuckles, smiling a gentle smile that warms KC’s inexistant heart. “Growing boys, you have kids?” She asks.

 

“ Yes, Harvest and Bloody. They are animatronics like myself and are very sweet. ” KC explains with a smile.

 

“Oh! What… lively names.” Skylar chuckles. “Are they as kind as you?” She asks.

 

“ Getting there. ” KC chuckles. “ They live half the time at the pizzaplex and half time with myself. They work in the theatre. ”

 

“Oh really?” Skylar chuckles, and for the first time in a long time she feels… happy. “Tell me more.”

 

And that’s how it goes for hours, until the kitchen inevitably closed and Skylar had to leave, but not before she and KC promise to talk again. Both having made a new friend.

 

“So? You actually went on a date with a woman that’s into animatronics?” Skylar snorts. “I mean, I’m sorry but most of them are… an interesting bunch.”

 

“ Oh? So what would you suggest I do? I am an animatronic? ” KC deadpans, eyeing her.

 

Skylar taps her chin. “Well, find someone who doesn’t have a kink for it. Who just genuinely loves you, whether animatronic or not.” She says softly, looking up at him. “You’re kind, funny, and gentle. Who wouldn’t want that.” She honestly… thinks she’s in love with him, but she’s married and besides. Mark would never let her leave. And KC would never take her, all she is, is damaged goods.

 

“ … I… thank you, my dear. ” KC smiles, but notices her far away look and frowns. He worries for her.

Chapter 2

“KC!” Cody giggles as he runs in, and hops into KC’s arms. 

 

The animatronics laughs his deep laugh, holding Cody close. “ Hello little one, nice to see you bsck here. ” He says softly, giving the little one a muzzle.

 

Skylar smiles as she follows after Cody, humming softly to herself. “KC, nice to see you.” Her and KC have been talking more lately, it’s been great and she’s so happy.

 

“ Miss Skylar, I got you something. ” KC hands her a flower, a daisy. “ I found it as I was walking here and thought of you. ”

 

Skylar blushes and places it behind her ear. “Thank you.” She says softly. “I really appreciate it.” She gives a genuine smile. 

 

KC smiles back and grabs the two humans some food before sitting down with them, he chuckles as Cody digs in. “ Mark still struggling to get a job? ” He asks her softly.

 

“Yeah. But I’m sure it’ll be okay.” Skylar sighs. “He should get one soon, and then we won’t need to come here as much Which means people more deserving will get the food here.” She says softly.

 

“ You are very deserving, we are here to help anyone in need. ” KC promises. “ I am sure he will get a job soon, I promise. ”

 

“I hope you’re right.” Skylar sighs.

Skylar sighs as she lays in their tent, cuddling Cody close as she hears Mark drinking and laughing outside. She knows as soon as he comes in he’ll want to have sex but they can’t with Cody in here. She also knows he’ll hit her when she says no.

 

Just like clockwork, Mark comes in. 

 

“Hey b’by.” Mark slurs. “Let’s have sex, you and me.” He leans over her and starts kissing her neck.

 

Skylar huffs. “Cody’s here.”

 

“He’s ‘sleep, babe.” Mark grins. “Come on, pl’se.” He presses the palm of his hand to her crotch and applies pressure.

 

“I said no!” Skylar hisses and pushes him off, before suddenly a slap sound rings out and her cheek burns as she holds back tears.

 

“Fuck you, you bitch. I’ll go fuck a whore  out here.” Mark huffs and crawls out of the tent, leaving Skylar in tears

 

Skylar holds Cody close, thinking about KC. She wishes she could leave mark, she’s honestly falling for the kind robot but…. She isn’t a cheater, and she is sure KC won’t want damaged goods like her. 

 

Skylar looks down at Cody, she has a plan for him. If things don’t get better in the next month or two… she’ll give him to KC somehow. She knows he’ll love him, and care for him as if he’s his own. Yes, it’ll hurt her but she will do what is best for her son. No matter how she feels.

 

“Mommy, can we go see KC again?” Cody asks in a quiet voice. “He’s nice.”

 

“Of course baby, how long have you been up?” Skylar asks.

 

“Since daddy came in.” Cody sniffles. “Why is he so mean to you, Mommy?” He asks softly, looking up at her with confused eyes.

 

Skylar tears up. “I don’t know baby, I don’t know.” She hugs him. “But you don’t have to worry about it, I promise.” She says softly. “Now let’s sleep.” She gently starts singing.

 

“ Now it's time to say good night, Good night, sleep tight. Now the sun turns out his light, Good night, sleep tight. ” Skylar sings softly, gently stroking Cody’s cheek with the corner of his security blanket. ” Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you. Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Good night, sleep tight. ”

 

Cody yawns, closing his eyes as his Mommy’s voice soothes him to sleep, and he sucks his thumb.

 

 “ Now the moon begins to shine, Good night, sleep tight. Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you. Close your eyes and I'll close mine, Good night, sleep tight.” Skylar always finishes the song, whether he’s awake or not. “ Now the sun turns out his light, Good night, sleep tight. Dream sweet dreams for me, Dream sweet dreams for you. Good night, Good night, everybody, Everybody, everywhere, Good night. ” She finishes, and kisses Cody’s head gently as she curls up with him. She hopes tomorrow will be a new day.

Chapter 3

KC frowns, looking out the window for Skylar. It’s been days since he’s talked to her… and he knows why she’s not coming back, what is wrong with him.

 

The last time he saw her, he did something he shouldn’t have. And now she probably never wants to see him again.

KC smiles as he gently sets up the food for Skylar, Cody’s already eaten since KC had him helping in the kitchens today. Skylar had a doctors appointment, and KC had offered to babysit little Cody.

 

“Was he good for you?” Skylar asks with a smile, sipping at the soup he gave her, she looks upset but KC can tell she’s hiding it and he won’t push her.

 

“ As always, he was an Angel. ” KC smiles. “ How was your appointment? All healthy? ” He asks, making small talk.

 

“Yeah. Yeah it was.” Skylar looks tired. “It went okay, I’m glad Cody had a good day. He deserves that.” She hums as she eats the soup. “Thanks for watching him, I appreciate it KC. Really.”

 

“ Honestly, I enjoy watching him. He’s very fun. ” KC chuckles. “ And he loves learning how to cook which is great. ”

 

“That’s good.” Skylar smiles, before she stands up and hugs him gently. “Thank you for being such a good friend.”

 

KC kneels down and hugs her back, and when she pulls away he gently looks at her with soft eyes. “ Of course, I care about you. ”

 

“I… care about you too.” Skylar murmurs, as they both lean in.

 

KC closes the gap between them, gently kissing her. And for a moment, Skylar is kissing him back. And everything’s perfect.

 

Then came the gasp, and Skylar pushes him away. “No! No we can’t do this. I… I have to go!” She grabs Cody and runs out.

 

KC watches her go, tearing up and looking down as the tears fall.

KC sighs as he cleans up the kitchen, he has the closing shift today. He really screwed up. He kissed a married woman, he lost his friend. He just… fell for her, and… Mark seems to treat her crappy, from what she’s told him. No dates, no job, never cares for her kid… but that’s no reason to cheat.

 

Maybe KC was wrong, once a villain. Always a villain.

Two weeks pass from the kiss, and suddenly the staff are gasping as  Skylar comes in with a limp, leading Cody to the table to get food.

 

Skylar sighs as she grabs two bowls for her and Cody,  KC doesn’t work today, so she’s okay with coming in after what Mark did. She groans softly and places her hand on fear stomach, the bruise on her small bump is dark under her shirt, and  the doctor said that it was a miracle her little one is alive.

 

Mark doesn’t want the baby, as she’s a girl. And Mark didn’t want girls so he tried too…. Skylar tears up. He’s just a fucking sexist creep, and they ran, her and Cody. Now they will get food, and then she will find a way out of town… somehow. Get her far away from Mark.

 

Skylar left a note to KC, she knows he won’t find it until after she’s left, as it was placed in his locker here. And he won’t be in until tomorrow. The note explains everything to him, truthfully. How that kiss wasn’t why she ran, it was because of her pregnancy, and being too scared to leave Mark. That she loves him but she understands that he hates her now.

 

Skylar sits at a table for hours, just thinking about what to do, Cody is playing in the little play area KC made for him. Thankfully he’s unaware of the situation, but Cody is a smart boy. She knows he’ll catch on soon.

 

Skylar sighs tiredly as she lays her head on the table, when suddenly someone sits beside her.

 

“ Skylar? ”

 

Skylar startles, sitting up and turning to see KC. He has the note in his hand, and he looks so… sad, and angry. She swallows thickly, and opens her mouth to explain gut before she gets anything out he hugs her.

 

“ Shhh. I’m here. ” KC whispers. “ I wish you had told me, I would have helped you. ”

 

Skylar hiccups as she tries to fight the urge to cry, and loses miserably as she starts to sob. KC just hushes her, and rubs her hair.

 

“ Skylar, how about you come to my house and we can talk more privately? My boys are at the pizzaplex. ” KC says softly.

 

Skylar just tiredly nods, standing up. That’s when she sees KC staring at her stomach, and she frowns. She’d been hiding her bump, but now the small bump is on full view. “KC…”

 

“ He hit your belly? ” KC snarls. “ Are you supposed to be on bed rest? ”

 

“Running was more important. I had to be strong.” Skylar whispers, before gasping as she’s scooped up. 

 

“ You are strong, let me be strong for you too. ” KC asks. “ Cody come, we’re going to have a sleepover. ”

 

“Okay!” Cody grins.

 

Skylar would protest but she’s so tired and sore, and for the first time in years she feels safe. And loved by someone who is not her son. So she relaxes, closing her eyes and letting herself sleep. She needs it.

Chapter 4

Skylar startles as she feels herself being layed down, and her arms tighten around whatever she’s holding. Then suddenly a deep voice is shushing her, and she feels a featherlight kiss pressed gently to her head. She starts to relax as a gent;e voice speaks to her, deep and soothing.

 

“ Shhh, im here. I’m right here, my starry sky. ” KC murmurs softly, laying her down. He gently tucks her into the bed, making sure she is comfortable and ready for rest.

 

“KC.” Skylar mumbles, peeking an eye open. “Sorry… I forgot-“

 

“ It’s okay, just rest sweetheart. I’ve got Cody, and it’s late. We’ll talk more tomorrow. ” KC promises. “ You need your rest. ” He says softly, gently rubbing her back with a small smile.

 

“Okay.” Skylar knows they’re safe with KC, both her and Cody. She trusts KC more than she’s trusted anyone in a long time, honestly. Skylar has been with Mark ever since she was 16, she had Cody when she was 20 and that was when the abuse ramped up. Mark had only been mentally abusive, but as soon as they found out she was pregnant… things changed. But she couldn’t leave, where would she go? But now… she has a safe bed to sleep in, someone who cares for her and her son, and she knows that Mark cant hurt her here, and with that thought still in her mind she drifts off to sleep.

KC hums and makes Cody some food. “ So Cody, how have you been? ” He asks with a soft smile, humming a small song to himself as he cooks. His sons should be back soon and he can explain to them what has been going on. Then Mark will pay for ever punching and abusing someone, let alone punching a pregnant woman in the stomach. Fucking bastard.

“I’m okie doki.” Cody hums as he hugs KC’s leg. “Why does daddy hate mommy?” He asks softly.

KC frowns, and pauses in his cooking to gently kneel down with Cody. “ I… do not know, little Cody. But I promise, he will never hurt her again now that I am here. ” He says softly, giving Cody a small smile.

Cody doesn’t smile back, he just tears up a bit. “ Was it my fault? Does daddy hate mommy because of me? ” He asks, because there has to be a reason for his small mind to wrap around. A reason why his daddy doesn’t love his mommy like most daddy’s do.

KC instantly hugs him close. “ It is not your fault, I as a daddy to my own sons know this .” He says softly, standing and gently swaying Cody and humming a song he knows his boys love.

Cody snuggles close. “Can you be my daddy?” He whispers. “Don’t wanna call you daddy though, cause daddy is bad.” He mumbles and curls closer.

KC’s heart shatters and he tears up. “ Of course, and you can call me whatever you want my little one. ” He says softly and gently kisses Cody’s head. “ I can be whatever you need. ” He promises.

“Okay Pa.” Cody murmurs and closes his eyes.

KC sighs and after a bit he gently lays Cody on the couch and makes sure he’s comfy, before he finishes cooking and gets the food put away. Then he heads out and starts a fire, just sitting and thinking. He… is in love with a pregnant human woman who just came from an abusive situation and her son has already adopted him as a father…Fuck, what has he gotten himself into.

KC honestly isn’t sure what to do, but he does know that no matter what happens he will be there for Skylar and Cody… and Honestly, he would raise that baby as his own if skylar wanted him too.

“Father!” Bloody and Harvest come running, the both have been separated for a while now. It happened shortly after Ruin was defeated and Moon fixed their murderous tendencies, Moon made Harvest his own body with the help of Solar and they became family finally. And the twins couldn't be happier, especially after being reunited with their papa. They had missed him so much. Now they work at the pizzaplex by day, and by night the come home and stay with their papa. It’s the perfect life.

“Is it true!?” Harvest asks. “Did you bring a nice lady home? And her small spawn?” They had been told all about Skylar and Cody, and have been dying to meet them! But their father wanted to wait, and both twins understood.

“Yes, but you will not disturb them.” KC huffs. “Now, I need your help.” He says softly with a truly evil grin, one the twins haven't seen in so long.

“Yes father?” Bloody asks, ever the elder of the two. “Ripping, shredding and tearing?” He asks.

“Oh please father!” Harvest grins. “Hunting?” The love hunting with their father so much, even if he doesn’t kill and just lets them take the animals down for their dinners. It’s so much fun for them, even with the bloodlust taken away. But they only kill what they eat.

“Yes, but not animals.” KC hums.

“WHAT?” Both boys ask, and only get an evil grin from KC in return, before what he says chills them to the bone.

“ It’s time I break my Oath. ”

Chapter 5

Skylar yawns as she sits up, startling as she looks around. This isn’t her tent… and this bed.. she looks down, it’s so big. Right, right KC. He… He loves her?

 

Skylar sniffs, her mouth watering as she smells food and she stands up, finding a shirt and shorts with a note attached to them. 

 

Skylar,

 

I got these for you as your old clothes seemed rather loved. I hope they are to your liking.

 

KC.

 

Skylar smiles and quickly puts them on, looking down at her bump. It looks so much bigger now that she’s not hiding it. She frowns, Will KC want them? A broken woman, a kid and another on the way… fuck.

 

“ What are you doing up? Back in bed. ” 

 

Skylar startles, turning and seeing KC in gone doorway. “KC, I was just coming out too…”

 

“ You can use the washroom but otherwise you should be on bedrest as the doctor prescribed. ” KC says softly.

 

The urge is suddenly strong and Skylar blushes. “Where?” 

 

KC smiles. “ Door right outside the bedroom. I will wait here. ”

 

Skyler nods and quickly does her business, washing her hands and coming back. She crawls into bed. “KC…” she starts. “Is Cody…”

 

“ At the pizzaplex, as we needed to talk. He’s safe there and having fun in the daycare. ” KC sits on the end of the bed. “ Mark will never hurt you again, I promise. ”

 

Skylar tears up, looking at KC. “Thank you… I… you read my note?” She asks. “You don’t have too… I know I said I loved you and wanted to… but I can’t do this to you. I can’t force you to take care of me when I’m pregnant, and Cody and…” she hiccups, looking down before a large hand tips her face up to look him in the eye. KC has a soft look of sadness, and his thumb swipes her tears away.

 

“ I love Cody, and I love you. I wish to date you. ” KC says softly. “ And you being with child? That does not matter, I will love the child. I will love you. I will love Cody. ” 

 

Skylar hiccups softly. “I’m going to be fat, and ugly, and hormonal…”

 

“ Who told you that? ” KC asks softly.

 

“Mark. He thought I was ugly when I was pregnant. And… he hit me because I’m having a girl.” Skylar nuzzles into the hand. 

 

KC gently pulls her into his lap, moving to sit back. “ He was a liar, and an idiot. ” He says softly. “ You are beautiful, Skylar. Your belly… it just adds to your beauty. And it’s a baby, not fat in the slightest. ” He smiles at her. “ And a little girl, that’s great too. Gender doesn't matter. ”

 

Skylar sniffles and curls close. “Can you kiss me again?” She asks.

 

“ I was hoping you’d ask. ” KC smiles brightly and leans in, gently kissing her.

 

Skylar leans into the kiss, sighing happily. She then pulls away, looking up at him.

 

KC grins. “ May I touch your bump? ” He asks, and when he gets a nod his hand gently settles on her belly.

 

“You really want this?” Skylar asks. “It won’t be easy. Pregnancy is hard.”

 

“ Nothing in life is easy. ” KC smiles. “ I want this with you, my dear. I really and truly do. Whether it’s hard, easy, exhausting. I have never felt a connection like I do with you. ” 

 

“Me neither.” Skylar cuddles close. “Thank you, for being here for me. And loving me.”

 

“ My love, I am just being who you deserve. ” KC smiles. “ Are you hungry? ” He asks.

 

The answer is in the form of her stomach growling, and Skylar blushes. 

 

KC let’s out a laugh. “ I take that as a yes, well don’t you worry, I made pancakes. ” He lays her in the bed. “ I will be right back. ” He leaves the room, coming back a moment later with a huge stack of pancakes and a cup of orange juice.

 

“Thank you.” Skylar says before she digs in, she’s honestly starving. She hasn’t been eating nearly as much as she should while pregnant.

 

KC sits beside her and lets her eat, usually he would slow someone down but she needs the food and he knows pregnant women should listen to their body. He did lots of research.

 

When Skylar finishes, she tears up. “Im sorry… fuck I’m such a pig.” She whimpers.

 

“ Shhh, you are no such thing. Your body needed the food. ” KC takes a damp cloth and wipes her face. “ You are pregnant, we’re homeless and couldn’t get enough food. You have every right to eat your fill. ” He says softly, setting the plates to the side. “ Now, how about we rest? ” He crawls under the blanket and pulls her close. “ Cody will be back soon, and I’m sure he’ll want to talk to you. ” He smiles.

 

Skylar sniffles and curls close. “My baby.” She sighs. “Sounds like a plan, I’m exhausted.” She closes her eyes.

 

KC plays with her hair, just thinking. This trailer… it’s not big enough for a family, not for the three of them, his boys and definitely not for a baby. So he’ll have to get them a house, maybe have Moon help. A nice house in the country, where they will be comfortable and safe. Where they could have some animals and where there boys can run around, and their girl can grow. This has all happened so fast, honestly. But also… it all just feels to right.

 

He kisses Skylar’s head softly, smiling happily. His family has gotten bigger by three, and he couldn’t be happier. He can’t wait for his three boys to get home so they can meet her, they’ve already taken a liking to Cody. He knows they’ll like Skylar.

 

KC sighs, a dopey smile spreading onto his face. Everything feels amazing. Everything feels right. Things are going to work out, he has the woman of his dreams, 3 kids and one on the way. And no matter what happens, he will protect his family. And do what is best for them. That’s a promise.
